Reflect on the first week of a new school year with this student reflection activity.
Back-to-School Reflection Worksheet
The first week of school can bring about a whirlwind of emotions for students. Fear of what the first day of school will bring, joy in seeing a familiar face in the cafeteria, excitement when the bell rings on a Friday afternoon at 3 pm. So, why not let your students slow down at the end of a long week and reflect on what it brought about?
Students will reflect on the following:
- 5 friends they made
- 4 things they are looking forward to
- 3 words to describe their week
- 2 goals for the school year
- 1 reason why it will be the best year ever
